Ingredients
- 8 MORE DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3 cup flour (start w/ 2 1/2 Cups)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 16 oz 60% Chocolate chips
- 8 Candy Canes, crushed into different sizes
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 egg whites , room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- For the Peppermint Bark
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Using a double boiler melt the chocolate until it is a smooth consistency. Add in the peppermint extract and stir. Fold in 1/2 of the crushed candy canes. Pour the chocolate mixture onto the baking sheet into a thin layer. Sprinkle the rest of the crushed candy canes on top. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until cooled and solid. Break into smaller pieces.
- For the Sugar Cookies
- Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer for 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix on low until everything is incorporated.
- Chill the dough for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough, and roll it into a ball. Place 9 of the cookie dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roll with coarse sugar.
- For cookies that are soft in the middle (that’s how I like them) bake for 10-12 minutes until just slightly golden around the edges. If you want them crisp, bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before transferring them off the baking sheet and onto a cooling rack.
